Math and Dyscalculia services has been founded to raise awareness for children who struggle in math. This is an overview of the Tutoring Services Dr Schreuder and her network of Graduates provide and the process we use.
Specialized tutoring for difficulties with Math and dyscalculia
A word about what to expect from specialized tutoring:
The tutoring for children and adults is done online and via video conferences one on one. We do not use a specific curriculum but rather design the interventions based on the diagnostic findings. Dyscalculia Remediation (specialized tutoring) is not the same as regular math tutoring. This math tutoring is not the “help with homework” tutoring or “help to get through the next test” tutoring. There are lots of tutors who will be available for that kind of tutoring. Dyscalculia remediation goes back to the roots of the problems with math and works up from there. So, interventions may seem age inappropriate and sometimes focus on topics that have been covered two or more grades ago but still not been fully understood due to the math learning disability you or your child may have.
- Tutoring online
We can tutor your child in weekly or twice-weekly or more 55 min. lessons, with as goal to bring your child back to be independent in Math at the level of the class. Pricing ranges from $65-$80 as a guide, depending on age and grade level of the student. These prices are per session of about 55 minutes, 25 minute sessions are charged half the price. Using our video platform. Contact us for details and availability.
- Train the Tutor
This is another option Dr Schreuder provides. If you, a teacher, or a tutor you know would like to enroll in our online Dyscalculia Tutor Training to eventually tutor your child, then we will provide support and guidance until they are ready to take over. So, we will start working with your child and the tutor starts the training and after some time the tutor gets more involved and starts taking over, while Dr Schreuder coaches the tutor and monitors the progress, and eventually, after they have successfully graduated the Dyscalculia Tutor Training they can take over. This process can take 3-6 months. Feel free to ask for more details about this program.
- Regular follow up
After any of our services, we will offer a free follow up visit upon request after 3 months or 1/2 year to hear if there are any questions and to be sure your child makes progress. We may recommend some follow up evaluation to measure the progress and decide if something needs to be adjusted, such as the frequency or duration of the sessions or the topics that are addressed.

- Our process
As tutoring for Dyscalculia requires a lot of detailed information about the current math gaps that exist, we will need to have access to any recent diagnostic testing you may have available or we can provide the necessary assessments ourselves, see under testing. Participating in our online math and dyscalculia screening test is also required and then as soon as we have all the information available, we will discuss with you the options, timing, frequency etc.
